Preparing The Power Supply; Setting The Date And Time - Sony F65 Operation Manual

2-8 Preparing the Power
Supply
This camera operates at 12 V DC (10.5 V to 17 V).
To supply power to the camera, attach the supplied 8-pin
power cable connector to a commercially available
shielded cable, and then connect the cable to the DC IN
connector (LEMO 8-pin) on the camera.
For details on connector pin assignments, see "Connector
Pin Assignments" (page 82) in the Appendix. For details
on the pin connections, consult your local Sony
representative.
Notes
• Use of a power supply with 150 W or higher supply
capacity is recommended to safely drive the camera. The
specifications for the power supply cable should be
chosen such that the voltage drop is less than 2 V.
Example: If a 5-meter (16 ft 5 in.) AWG 18 × 3 cable is
used to supply the camera and SR-R4, the voltage drop
will be 0.5 to 1.0 V.
• If using the camera's 24 V DC output to drive
peripherals, 12 V DC and 24 V DC power supplies must
be connected to the camera via the DC IN connector
(LEMO 8-pin) of the power cable (supplied).
• When using the SR-R4 docked on the camera, the
connection of a 13 V to 17 V DC power source is
recommended.
To turn on the camera
Set the CAM POWER switch to the ON position, and the
camera is turned on.
Power is also supplied to viewfinder connected to the VF
connector.
12 V or 24 V power can be fed to accessories via the DC
OUT connectors. To supply 24 V power to accessories,
12 V and 24 V DC input power supplies must be connected
via the DC IN connector of the camera.
For the pin assignment for the 24 V power supply DC IN
connector, see "Connector Pin Assignments" (page 82) in
the Appendix.
